5.3.2 Remote Sensor

MPLAB X IDE with XC8 compiler is required for developing remote sensor software. For more details, refer to the AN4203 ATA8510 Configuration Tool Guide Application Note (DS00004203). The project file is in the extracted subfolder, ..\Software\sensor\....

  • Open the ATA8510_FLASH.X project folder. The following workspace window appears:
    Figure 5-5. Remote Sensor Software
  • Select the following files from the workspace window to evaluate the software:
    • ATA8510_FLASH_XC8.c – The main() function starts with initialization and activation of the ATA8510 device.

The user can analyze, compile and link the implementation together with the program flow (see Figure 5-1).

The user can also debug the application within MPLAB X IDE using the Microchip ICE debugger tool.
